Bye Bye to the Drain!
Feb 05, 2009
So today my surgeon pronounced my leak healed enough to take the drain out. It stung for a moment, and now it feels better. I will be sore for a couple of days at the site, but on the other hand, he said the body will start healing immediately! It was very quick (remember what a baby I was the night before my 7 day checkup worrying about the pain of the drain removal - and then it didn't even come out!)He said that if there is any more leak to the leak, it will come out of the hole and stain the gauze, not go into my body (and give me an infection, sepsis, etc.) So no silk blouses for me for a couple of days :) I will not miss the smell, the mess, the bulge under my clothes or most importantly, the worry about whether or not this leak will ever heal.
My weight loss as of today is 33 lbs. The good news is - I finally weigh less than my husband!
